Princess Rosy Cheeks 



Scene — A child's hedroo'tn. A white bed is on one 
side of stage. A bedside table with a rose-shaded lamp 
and small clock beside it. On the other side is a chair 
ivith a book thrown open upon it. Clothes are scattered 
about the room. There is a tvindow at the rear, con- 
cealed or partly concealed by a large screen. By use of 
screen, the ivindow is not necessary. Splashing of uxiter 
is heard. 

Margery — (outside, protesting) Well, I don't see 
the use of all this fuss to be clean, anyway! There, I am 
through — ! 

(Margery enters; jumps into bed and pulls covers 
over head.) 

(Nurse follows with tooth brush and glass.) 
Nurse— Now, Miss Margery — 

Margery — (getting out of bed, takes tooth brush, 
steps behind screen and gives her teeth a hasty scrub, 
and again pulls covers over her head) 

(Nurse opens window.) 

Margery — (sitting up) Don't open that window; it 
is cold in here ! 

Nurse — (hands on hips) I never saw such a girl — 
never want any fresh air. Never want to play outdoors 
— always reading those fairy books, in a stuify room. No 
wonder you haven't any color and no appetite. If I did- 
n't know your mother forbid you candy between meals, 
I'd think it was that. Now, go to sleep. (Takes off the 



Princess Rosy Cheeks 



wrapper and tucks covers more smoothly around her.) 
You fussed so long over having your hair brushed, it is 
long after bed time. (Snaps off light. Exit.) 

Margery — (cautiously sits up, snaps on light, and 
throws on wrapper, tip-toes over for her book, then be- 
gins to read, rnunching caramels which are under her pil- 
low. Sh£ shivers, jumps up again, runs to tcindow and 
closes it, and again, half lying down, begins to read. Her 
head soon begiris to nod.) 

(The Sandman enters with a bag of sand thrawn 
over his shoulder. He dances about, throwing sand in 
her eyes and kicking her clothes about the floor, then 
disappears.) 

(Dance of Sandman — "'Humoresque." Any eccen- 
tric step can be used. ) 

(The Dream Fairies enter from behind the screen — 
softly singing and waving lavendar, bine and rose 
scarfs, as they surround the bed. I 

SONG OF DREAM FAIRIES 
Tune: "Love's Old Sweet Song" — Chorus 

Dreams that come at evening, 
When the lights are lov^, 
And the twinkling shadows 
Softly come and go; 
Little girls grow weary 
Of Hygiene it seems 
So these self-same lessons 
We teach in dreams — 

We — teach thorn — in their- -dreams. 

Margery — (sitting up and rubbing her eyes) _,0h, 
what a lovely dream! If only I truly were a Princess! 
But I am so little and homely and pale — I never could 
be one — oh, dear! 

First Dream Fairy- Little Priacess Margery— 



Princess Rosy Cheeks 



Margery — (startled, jumps out of bed and cour- 
tesies) Why — why — gooi evening — I am sorry, but I 
f3ar I don't remember \v)ur nam^. 

D. F. — We are Dream Fairies. We gave you thot 
pretty dream, little Prince.ss. 

Margery — Why do you call me "Princess'? I an? not 
one, you knov^. I am just Margerv. 

D. F. — But, reail/, you are a piincess. Didn't ;ou 
know? All little gii''^ who are iio^lthy and happy imd 
good are — you are .^usi it. disguiie row. 

Mar. — Really! How wonderful! But how can I 
lose this ugly disguise? Won't you tell me? Oh, please. 

First D. F. — (other Dream Fairies slip off quietly) 
Cuddle down in bed and we will call the Good Health Fai- 
ries, to tell you how. But the window is closed. They 
can't get in. Nurse must have forgotten. 

Mar. — No, I closed it — 

D. F. — And so kept all the Fresh Air Fairies from 
getting in. Too bad! There! (Opens ivindow.) 

Tune: "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." 
(Enter from behi7id screen, skipping, waving blue 
and gold handkerchiefs, ten Fresh Air Fairies. At ''Hur- 
rah, Hurrah!" they wave handkerchiefs over head. They 
skip around stage, then form circle, "forward and back," 
and on last note all suddenly sit doum facing Margery, 
and sing.) 

SONG OF FRESH AIR FAIRIES 
Tune: "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" 

She's opened the window, nice and wide, 

Hurrah ! Hurrah ! 
So the Fresh Air Fairies can get inside, 

Hurrah ! Hurrah ! 
We enter your lungs, the market place. 
With oxygen clean, then right-about face, 
And carry off the impurities, the blood gives 
back to us. 



Princess Rosy Cheeks 



The blood then goes racing with all its might, 

Hurrah ! Hurrah ! 
All fresh and clean and pure and bright, 

Hurrah ! Hurrah ! 
It enters the heart, then out again; 
The heart pumps it back into artery and vein 
And pale cheeks glow with the red blood's rosy 
light. 
(At close, all jump up and skip off, waving handker- 
chiefs at Margery.) 

Mar. — Why, I didn't know Fresh Air and Sunshine 
really mattered. How interesting! 

D. F. — Indeed, they are the most important of the 
Good Health Fairies. They are the ones that give you 
rosy cheeks. Keep your window open both day and 
night, so they can be with you. 
Mar. — But when it is cold? 

D. F. — Open it at the top and just a little at the bot- 
tom. The stuffy used up air will go out at the top and 
fresh new air will come in at the bottom. Put on more 
clothes or blankets, but don't keep the rosy cheek makers 
out. 

(Enter eight Soap and Water Fairies. Every sec- 
ond one carries a basin, but all have soap and imsh^ 
cloth. March slowly in from either side of screen, down 
center in two's, in four's and then in eight's. Basin 
girls hold basin while partner washes face, neck and 
ears, on verses.} 

SONG OF SOAP AND WATER FAIRIES 
Tune: "Jingle Bells" 
Fairies from Spotless Town 
When our faces bright you see, 
We hope where now you wear a frown, 
A smile will come to be. 
Just take some water warm, 
And plenty of good soap; 
And then you wash it off again 
And dry it well we hope. 



Princess Rosy Cheeks 



Giwriis — 

Soap and Water (shake cloth, facing front) 
Soap and Water, 

Is my face quite clean? (face partner) 
Will you look at ears and neck? (hack to part- 
ner) 
The cleanest ever seen! (face front) 
(Repeat Chorns) 

Second Verse 

And now another thing, 

Before you dump the tub, 
You take the little nail brush, 
And finger nails you scrub. 

Now, to these lessons add 
A cold bath every day, 
A shampoo every week or two, 
The Good Health Fairies say. 

Chorus — 

Soap and Water (shake cloth, facing front) 
Soap and Water, 

Is my face quite clean? (face partner) 
Will you look at ears and neck? (hack to part- 
ner) 
The cleanest ever seen! (face front) 

(Repeat Chorus) 

(On second verse reverse the action. March out sin- 
gle file, courtesying as they pass Margery. This must he 
dmie with precision of drill and sung ivith animation, 
and with appropriate action.) 

D. F. — And it isn't enough, Margery, to just keep 
the hands and face clean. You must take a bath every 
day, so that the millions of pores which serve as little 
drain pipes for the body will not get clogged up. 

Mar. — Oh, yes, I know the pores. That is where 
the perspiration comes from. 



Princess Rosy Cheeks 



D. F. — Yes, and those tiny drops of water are filled 
with the impurities the healthy body is trying to get 
rid of. 

Mar. — I see, now, why baths are necessary, even if 
we look clean. 

(During this dialog, Light Fairy enters quietly and 
appears beside Margery's bed. Sings.) 

SONG OF THE LIGHT FAIRY 
Tune: "Tenting Tonight." 

You were reading tonight 
In a very poor light, 
Princess, you must beware. 
Those eyes so blue 
That were given to you 
Are precious jewels rare. 

Reading at night 
Needs a very good light, 
A green shade, and not rosy red; 
Have it fall from your shoulder, 
And never in your face, | 

And sit up, don't lounge in bed. 
(Slowly backs toward the screen.) ] 

(Spoken) 



If these rules, then, you keep, 
And have plenty of good sleep, 
Beautiful your clear eyes will seem. 

(Disappears) 

(Tune: ''Dixie.") 

(Enter Toothbrush Brigade, six boys. March in 
military style around stage, carrying toothbrushes. Sa- 
lute Mar. as they pass. Stand at attention at close.) 

We are the Hygiene Soldiers of the U. S. A. 
For the Good Health Cause. 
We work you'll say, 



Princess Rosy Cheeks 



As we scrub, 
As we scrub, 
As we scrub, 
Scrub our teeth. 

We chase the germs 

As the Yanks did the Germans, 

We'll shoio you how, 

As we can't preach sermons, 

As we scrub, 

As we scrub, 

Scrub our teeth. 
(Chorus to be ivhistled. On the first "Hooray, 
hooray!" charge, pointing a toothbrush at Margery. On 
last lines, advance, charging, until close to bed, theyi sing 
last line, "We scrub. We scrub, Sc7'ub our teeth.") 

(Stand at attention.) 

Mar. — But I do brush my teeth and thev don't shine 
at all. 

D. F. — But, how do you brush them? 

Mar. — Why, just brush them. 

D. F. — Company, attention! (All salute.) Show 
Margery the way to brush her teeth. 

First Soldier — (stepping forward) Warm water, 
tooth paste, or mild soap. (Demonstrates.) 

Second Soldier — (stepping forward) Brush upper 
teeth down — never across them. (Demonstrates.) 

Third Soldier — (stepping forward) Brush lower 
teeth up. (Deynonstrates.) 

Fourth Soldier — Use dental floss to remove the food 
particles that are wedged between the teeth. {Demon- 
strates.) 

Fifth Soldier — Rinse your mouth with fresh water. 
(Demonstrates.) 

Sixth Soldier — Drink glass of water before break- 
fast and at bedtime. 

D. F. — Company, March! 



10 Princess Rosy Cheeks 



Mar. — Why do thej drink water? 

D. F. — A glass of water every morning' and evening 
and as often as you think of it, besides, gives the inside 
of the body its daily bath. Now, remember — water ev- 
ery day, externally, internally and eternally! 

(Ten or more girls with beautiful hair, enter, sit 
doicn on front of stage, and sing.) 

Tune: "Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party." 
At night our hair we brush, 
So it w^ill grow and shine, 
And that we do it thoroughly, 
We count to twenty-nine. 

Chorus — (To he S})oken, vigo7^oiisly brushing hair 
i7i rhythm.) 

1, 2, 3. 4, 5, 0, 7, 8, 

9, 10, 11, 12, IS, 

14, 15, 16, 17, 

18 and 19; 

20, 21, 22, 23, 

24, 25 we've said. 

26, 27, 28 and 29 ; 

And now we go to bed. 
(They go out, each courtesyi7ig and saying ''Good 
night. Princess/' in turn. They may carry out Japanese 
lanterns, or search lights, which they keep concealed un- 
til exit, when they carry them high as if lighting their 
way. A pretty exit march can he arranged if the stage 
is darkened. Simple march figures will seem quite love- 
ly in this light.) 

Mar. — What good does all that brushing do? 

D. F. — It stimulates the oil glands at the base of 
each hair and this oil gives it the beautiful gloss. But 
you must also keep the scalp clean by a shampoo everj^ 
two weeks or so or the little oil glands will get clogged 
with dirt, like the pores, and cannot do their work prop- 
erly, and that makes the hungry hair dull and lifeless. 
But here come my littlest fairies, the Good Food Fairies. 



Princess Rosy Cheeks U 



They will tell you what to eat to keep strong and well. 

(Enter twenty-six little boys and girls. ^ March 
straight to front of stage and form line across it. Each 
carries a placard hung from shoulder. As they sing 
their lines, they step forward and turn the cardboard 
over, showing the letter they represent.) 

Song Tune: "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean." 

A is for Apples so rosy, 
B is for Butter and Bread, 
C is for Candy, it's dandy, 
But not between meals or in bed. 

D is for Drinking eight glasses, 

E is for eating quite slow, 

F is for Food that is wholesome. 

If you eat it you'll see how you'll grow. 

Chorus — (see below) 

H is for Happy and Healthy, 
Iron from Spinach so green, 
J is for Jam and for Jelly, 
Made in your Kitchen so clean. 

L is for hot Lemonade, 
M is for Milk and for Meat, 
N is for Nourishment in it, 
is for Oranges sweet. 

Chorus — 'See below) 

P for Potatoes and Porridge, 

Be Quiet just after a meal. 

Rest before Running and Romping, 

If you do this, new Strength you will feel. 

T is for Tea you must not drink, 
U the Upbuilding you'll see, 
Vegetables, Vitamines bring you. 
Drink Water, so healthy you'll be.

(At close of song, they march out, "A" leading.) 

Mar. — Aren't they darlings? Aren't there any more 
fairies, Dream Lady? 

D. F. — Just the Rest Fairies. Lean back on your 
pillows, and I will call them to sing to you. 

(Five fairies tip-toe in quietly, fingers to lips; sur- 
round the bed; sing softly.) 

SONG OF THE REST FAIRIES 
Tune: ''Sweet and Low." 

Sleep and Rest,

Bright eyes will come to thee, soon.

Ponder them well and then do your part, 
Good Health will come to thee soon, 
Sleep, little Princess, sleep! 
Sleep, pretty Princess, sleep! 

(They slip quietly out. Margery sleeps.) 



Princess Rosy Cheeks 13

away book and candy, puts out light. Exit.) 

(Dream Fairy appears in moonlight by screen.) 

(Soft singing is heard outside. Dream Fairies'^ 
song as before.) 

(Margery wakes up. Dream Fair if disappears.) 

Mar. — I will try, Dream Fairy; indeed I will! Why, 
it's only a dream. No, it isn't! The light is out and 
the window open. The Fresh Air Fairies were really, 
truly here. Where's my Princess book? (Snaps 07i the 
light.) It's gone — oh, dear! Never mind, I will be too 
busy, learning to be a Health Princess myself, to have 
time to read about theni. Ten o'clock. If I'm going to 
sleep ten hours, I'll have to hurry. (Snaps off light and 
cuddles down in bed.) 

(Dream Fairies' Song is heard faintly outside.)
